Conversely, peripherally acting agents should not cross the blood brain barrier so as to avoid any CNS related side effects. The ability of a compound to penetrate the blood brain barrier is expressed as the blood brain barrier permeability or the ratio of the steady-state concentrations of the compound in the brain and in the blood. The experimental blood brain barrier permeability can be measured by in vivo methods. Various methods can be employed for measuring the fraction of compound transported from the blood to brain tissue, including brain blood partitioning, brain perfusion, brain uptake index, and intracerebral microdialysis. However, these in vivo methods are laborious and low-throughput in nature. In practice, in silico computational methods are often used to predict the blood brain barrier permeability prior to in vivo confirmation. Most of the blood brain barrier models that have been built so far are based on the assumption that the majority of the compounds are transported across the blood brain barrier by passive diffusion. Of all the physicochemical properties, polar surface area (PSA) shows the best correlation with the blood brain barrier permeability for passively diffused compounds. Empirical evidence suggests that compounds having a polar surface area of 100 or greater typically have a low probability of crossing the blood brain barrier. Polar surface area is readily calculated from the compound structure using a published algorithm (Ertl et al., J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43:3714-3717). While it is understood that a Fms selective inhibitor may be used to treat any Fms related disease or condition, compounds that effectively cross the blood brain barrier provide beneficial effects in treating certain diseases or conditions, including, but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and global ischemia, while compounds that do not effectively cross the blood brain barrier provide beneficial effects in treating certain diseases or conditions, including, but not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, peri-prosthetic osteolysis, glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, Lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, or renal hypertrophy.

As used herein, the terms “treat”, “treating”, “therapy”, “therapies”, and like terms refer to the administration of material, e.g., any one or more compound(s) as described herein in an amount effective to prevent, alleviate, or ameliorate one or more symptoms of a disease or condition, i.e., indication, and/or to prolong the survival of the subject being treated.

As used herein, the term “solid form” refers to a solid preparation (i.e. a preparation that is neither gas nor liquid) of a pharmaceutically active compound that is suitable for administration to an intended animal subject for therapeutic purposes. The solid form includes any complex, such as a salt, co-crystal or an amorphous complex, as well as any polymorph of the compound. The solid form may be substantially crystalline, semi-crystalline or substantially amorphous. The solid form may be administered directly or used in the preparation of a suitable composition having improved pharmaceutical properties. For example, the solid form may be used in a formulation comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

As used herein, the term “substantially crystalline” material embraces material which has greater than about 90% crystallinity; and “crystalline” material embraces material which has greater than about 98% crystallinity.

As used herein, the term “substantially amorphous” material embraces material which has no more than about 10% crystallinity; and “amorphous” material embraces material which has no more than about 2% crystallinity.

As used herein, the term “semi-crystalline” material embraces material which is greater than 10% crystallinity, but no greater than 90% crystallinity; preferably “semi-crystalline” material embraces material which is greater than 20% crystallinity, but no greater than 80% crystallinity. In one aspect of the present invention, a mixture of solid forms of a compound may be prepared, for example, a mixture of amorphous and crystalline solid forms, e.g. to provide a “semi-crystalline” solid form. Such a “semi-crystalline” solid form may be prepared by methods known in the art, for example by mixing an amorphous solid form with a crystalline solid form in the desired ratio. In some instances, a compound mixed with acid or base forms an amorphous complex; a semi-crystalline solid can be prepared employing an amount of compound component in excess of the stoichiometry of the compound and acid or base in the amorphous complex, thereby resulting in an amount of the amorphous complex that is based on the stoichiometry thereof, with excess compound in a crystalline form. The amount of excess compound used in the preparation of the complex can be adjusted to provide the desired ratio of amorphous complex to crystalline compound in the resulting mixture of solid forms. For example, where the amorphous complex of acid or base and compound has a 1:1 stoichiometry, preparing said complex with a 2:1 mole ratio of compound to acid or base will result in a solid form of 50% amorphous complex and 50% crystalline compound. Such a mixture of solid forms may be beneficial as a drug product, for example, by providing an amorphous component having improved biopharmaceutical properties along with the crystalline component. The amorphous component would be more readily bioavailable while the crystalline component would have a delayed bioavailablity. Such a mixture may provide both rapid and extended exposure to the active compound.

As used herein, the term “complex” refers to a combination of a pharmaceutically active compound and an additional molecular species that forms or produces a new chemical species in a solid form. In some instances, the complex may be a salt, i.e. where the additional molecular species provides an acid/base counter ion to an acid/base group of the compound resulting in an acid:base interaction that forms a typical salt. While such salt forms are typically substantially crystalline, they can also be partially crystalline, substantially amorphous, or amorphous forms. In some instances, the additional molecular species, in combination with the pharmaceutically active compound, forms a non-salt co-crystal, i.e. the compound and molecular species do not interact by way of a typical acid:base interaction, but still form a substantially crystalline structure. Co-crystals may also be formed from a salt of the compound and an additional molecular species. In some instances, the complex is a substantially amorphous complex, which may contain salt-like acid:base interactions that do not form typical salt crystals, but instead form a substantially amorphous solid, i.e. a solid whose X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits no sharp peaks (e.g. exhibits an amorphous halo).

As used herein, the term “stoichiometry” refers to the molar ratio of two or more reactants that combine to form a complex, for example, the molar ratio of acid or base to compound that form an amorphous complex. For example, a 1:1 mixture of acid or base with compound (I.e. 1 mole acid or base per mole of compound) resulting in an amorphous solid form has a 1:1 stoichiometry.

As used herein, the term “composition” refers to a pharmaceutical preparation suitable for administration to an intended animal subject for therapeutic purposes that contains at least one pharmaceutically active compound, including any solid form thereof. The composition may include at least one pharmaceutically acceptable component to provide an improved formulation of the compound, such as a suitable carrier or excipient.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” indicates that the indicated material does not have properties that would cause a reasonably prudent medical practitioner to avoid administration of the material to a patient, taking into consideration the disease or conditions to be treated and the respective route of administration. For example, it is commonly required that such a material be essentially sterile, e.g., for injectibles.

In the present context, the term “therapeutically effective” or “effective amount” indicates that the materials or amount of material is effective to prevent, alleviate, or ameliorate one or more symptoms of a disease or medical condition, and/or to prolong the survival of the subject being treated.

“Unit dosage form” refers to a composition intended for a single administration to treat a subject suffering from a disease or medical condition. Each unit dosage form typically comprises each of the active ingredients of this invention plus pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Examples of unit dosage forms are individual tablets, individual capsules, bulk powders, liquid solutions, ointments, creams, eye drops, suppositories, emulsions or suspensions. Treatment of the disease or condition may require periodic administration of unit dosage forms, for example: one unit dosage form two or more times a day, one with each meal, one every four hours or other interval, or only one per day. The expression “oral unit dosage form” indicates a unit dosage form designed to be taken orally.

In the present context, the terms “synergistically effective” or “synergistic effect” indicate that two or more compounds that are therapeutically effective, when used in combination, provide improved therapeutic effects greater than the additive effect that would be expected based on the effect of each compound used by itself.

In the context of compounds binding to a target, the terms “greater affinity” and “selective” indicates that the compound binds more tightly than a reference compound, or than the same compound in a reference condition, i.e., with a lower dissociation constant. In some embodiments, the greater affinity is at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 500, 1000, or 10,000-fold greater affinity.

As used herein in connection with compounds of the invention, the term “synthesizing” and like terms means chemical synthesis from one or more precursor materials.

By “assaying” is meant the creation of experimental conditions and the gathering of data regarding a particular result of the experimental conditions. For example, enzymes can be assayed based on their ability to act upon a detectable substrate. A compound or ligand can be assayed based on its ability to bind to a particular target molecule or molecules.

As used herein, the term “modulating” or “modulate” refers to an effect of altering a biological activity, especially a biological activity associated with a particular biomolecule such as a protein kinase. For example, an agonist or antagonist of a particular biomolecule modulates the activity of that biomolecule, e.g., an enzyme, by either increasing (e.g. agonist, activator), or decreasing (e.g. antagonist, inhibitor) the activity of the biomolecule, such as an enzyme. Such activity is typically indicated in terms of an inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) or excitation concentration (EC₅₀) of the compound for an inhibitor or activator, respectively, with respect to, for example, an enzyme.

In the context of the use, testing, or screening of compounds that are or may be modulators, the term “contacting” means that the compound(s) are caused to be in sufficient proximity to a particular molecule, complex, cell, tissue, organism, or other specified material that potential binding interactions and/or chemical reaction between the compound and other specified material can occur.

“Pain” or a “pain condition” can be acute and/or chronic pain, including, without limitation, arachnoiditis; arthritis (e.g. osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout); back pain (e.g. sciatica, ruptured disc, spondylolisthesis, radiculopathy); burn pain; cancer pain; dysmenorrhea; headaches (e.g. migraine, cluster headaches, tension headaches); head and facial pain (e.g. cranial neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia); hyperalgesia; hyperpathia; inflammatory pain (e.g. pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, cystitis, pain from bacterial, fungal or viral infection); keloid or scar tissue formation; labor or delivery pain; muscle pain (e.g. as a result of polymyositis, dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis, repetitive stress injury (e.g. writer's cramp, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis)); myofascial pain syndromes (e.g. fibromyalgia); neuropathic pain (e.g. diabetic neuropathy, causalgia, entrapment neuropathy, brachial plexus avulsion, occipital neuralgia, gout, reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, phantom limb or post-amputation pain, postherpetic neuralgia, central pain syndrome, or nerve pain resulting from trauma (e.g. nerve injury), disease (e.g. diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Guillan-Barre Syndrome, myasthenia gravis, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or cancer treatment); pain associated with skin disorders (e.g. shingles, herpes simplex, skin tumors, cysts, neurofibromatosis); sports injuries (e.g. cuts, sprains, strains, bruises, dislocations, fractures, spinal chord, head); spinal stenosis; surgical pain; tactile allodynia; temporomandibular disorders; vascular disease or injury (e.g. vasculitis, coronary artery disease, reperfusion injury (e.g. following ischemia, stroke, or myocardial infarcts)); other specific organ or tissue pain (e.g. ocular pain, corneal pain, bone pain, heart pain, visceral pain (e.g. kidney, gall bladder, gastrointestinal), joint pain, dental pain, pelvic hypersensitivity, pelvic pain, renal colic, urinary incontinence); other disease associated pain (e.g. sickle cell anemia, AIDS, herpes zoster, psoriasis, endometriosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), silicosis, pulmonary sarcoidosis, esophagitis, heart burn, gastroesophageal reflux disorder, stomach and duodenal ulcers, functional dyspepsia, bone resorption disease, osteoporosis, cerebral malaria, bacterial meningitis); or pain due to graft v. host rejection or allograft rejections.

Kinase Targets and Indications of the Invention

Protein kinases play key roles in propagating biochemical signals in diverse biological pathways. More than 500 kinases have been described, and specific kinases have been implicated in a wide range of diseases or conditions (i.e., indications), including for example without limitation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disease, neurological disease, and other diseases. As such, kinases represent important control points for small molecule therapeutic intervention. Specific target protein kinases contemplated by the present invention are described in the art, including, without limitation, protein kinases as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/473,347 (see also, PCT publication WO2007002433), the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference with respect to such kinase targets, as well as the following:

Fms: Target kinase Fms (i.e., feline McDonough sarcoma) is a member of the family of genes originally isolated from the Susan McDonough strain of feline sarcoma viruses. Fms is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase of 108.0 kDa coded by chromosome 5q33.2-q33.3 (symbol: CSF1R). The structure of the transmembrane receptor Fms comprises two Ig-like domains, a IgC2-like domain, two additional Ig-like domains, a TM domain, and the TK domain.

Fms is the receptor for the macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and is crucial for the growth and differentiation of the monocyte-macrophage lineage. Upon binding of M-CSF to the extracellular domain of Fms, the receptor dimerizes and trans-autophosphorylates cytoplasmic tyrosine residues.

M-CSF, first described by Robinson and co-workers (Blood. 1969, 33:396-9), is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of macrophages. M-CSF stimulates differentiation of progenitor cells to mature monocytes, and prolongs the survival of monocytes. Furthermore, M-CSF enhances cytotoxicity, superoxide production, phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and secondary cytokine production of additional factors in monocytes and macrophages. Examples of such additional factors include granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8). M-CSF stimulates hematopoiesis, promotes differentiation and proliferation of osteoclast progenitor cells, and has profound effects on lipid metabolism. Furthermore, M-CSF is important in pregnancy. Physiologically, large amounts of M-CSF are produced in the placenta, and M-CSF is believed to play an essential role in trophoblast differentiation (Motoyoshi, Int J Hematol. 1998, 67:109-22). The elevated serum M-CSF levels of early pregnancy may participate in the immunologic mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of the pregnancy (Flanagan & Lader, Curr Opin Hematol. 1998, 5:181-5).

Aberrant expression and/or activation of Fms has been implicated in acute myeloid leukemia, AML (Ridge et al, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 1990, 87:1377-1380). Mutations at codon 301 are believed to lead to neoplastic transformation by ligand independence and constitutive tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor. The tyrosine residue at codon 969 has been shown to be involved in a negative regulatory activity, which is disrupted by amino acid substitutions. Accordingly, Fms mutations are most prevalent (20%) in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and AML type M4 (23%), both of which are characterized by monocytic differentiation.

A condition related to AML is chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). During the myeloid blast crisis (BC) of CML, non-random additional chromosome abnormalities occur in over 80% of patients. However, these cytogenetic changes have been reported to precede the clinical signs of CML-BC by several months to years suggesting that other biological events may participate in the multistep process of acute transformation of CML. The autocrine production of growth factors has been shown to occur in several hematological malignancies and particularly in AML. Specchia et al [Br J Haematol. 1992 March; 80(3):310-6] have demonstrated that IL-1 beta gene is expressed in almost all cases of CML in myeloid blast crisis, and that a high proportion of cases showed constitutive expression of the M-CSF gene. Many of the same patients in the Specchia et al study demonstrated simultaneous co-expression of Fms. After exposure of leukemic cells to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), release of M-CSF protein was documented in three of five patients studied; however, no significant interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), was detected in these patients. This demonstrates that different patterns of growth factors secretion exist in AML and CML, and that distinct molecular events are likely involved in the control of leukemic proliferation.

The observation that production of M-CSF, the major macrophage growth factor, is increased in tissues during inflammation (Le Meur et al, J. Leukocyte Biology. 2002; 72:530-537) provides a role for Fms in certain diseases. For example, COPD is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. The chronic inflammation of COPD is observed through the airways, parenchyma, and pulmonary vasculature. The inflammatory cell population consists of neutrophils, macrophages, and T lymphocytes, along with eosinophils in some patients. Macrophages are postulated to play an orchestrating role in COPD inflammation by releasing mediators such as TNF-a, IL-8 and LTB4, which are capable of damaging lung structures and/or sustaining neutrophilic inflammation.

Further, M-CSF/fins signaling is critical to osteoclast formation and survival of osteoclast precursors. For example, estrogen loss in menopause results in increased M-CSF and thus increased osteoclast number and bone resorption which leads to increased risk of fracture and osteoporosis. Accordingly, blockage of this signal is a target for the inhibition of bone resorption (Teitelbaum, Science. 2000; 289:1504; Rohan, Science. 2000; 289:1508).

Atherosclerosis, an inflammatory disease of the vessel walls, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A beneficial effect for Fms inhibition in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis depends on several observations (Libby, Nature. 2002; 420:868-874). First, monocytes resident in the arterial intima increase expression of scavenger receptors and internalize modified lipoproteins. The resulting lipid-laden macrophages develop into foam cells characteristic of the atherosclerotic lesion. Macrophages in atheroma secrete cytokines and growth factors involved in lesion progression. Additionally, macrophages replicate within the intima. Through Fms, M-CSF activates the transition from monocyte to lipid-laden macrophage and augments expression of scavenger receptor A. Indeed, atherosclerotic plaques over-express M-CSF which is critical for atherosclerotic progression. Mice deficient in M-CSF have been found to experience less severe atherosclerosis than mice with normal M-CSF (Rajavashisth, et. al., J. Clin. Invest. 1998; 101:2702-2710; Qiao, et. al., Am. J. Path. 1997; 150:1687-1699). Accordingly, inhibitors of Fms disrupt M-CSF signaling, compromising monocyte to macrophage foam cell progression, macrophage survival and replication, and cytokine signaling that participates in lesion progression.

The role of M-CSF and Fms in emphysema appears to involve the regulation of elastin metabolism through control of matrix metalloproteins. M-CSF has a role in the modulation of the accumulation and function of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in vivo (Shibata et al, Blood 2001, 98: pp. 2845-2852). Osteopetrotic (Op/Op) mice have no detectable M-CSF and show variable tissue-specific reductions in macrophage numbers. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that AMs would be decreased in number and have altered function in Op/Op mice because of the absence of M-CSF. Shibata et al found that lung macrophages identified in lung sections were decreased in number in 20-day-old Op/Op mice but not Op/Op mice older than 4 months compared with findings in age-matched littermate controls. The numbers of AMs recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were also reduced in young but not adult Op/Op mice compared with controls. Importantly, AMs of Op/Op mice spontaneously release higher levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) than AMs of controls. Consistent with an increased release of MMP, Op/Op mice have abnormal elastin deposition and spontaneously develop emphysema in the absence of molecular or cellular evidence of lung inflammation. Accordingly, the modulation of metalloelastase activity in macrophages by M-CSF may control the degradation of elastin fibers in lungs or blood vessels.

Metastatic cancer cells cause bone destruction, with associated fracture, pain, deformation, and hypercalcaemia, due to production of osteoclasticogenic factors including M-CSF by tumor cells (Clohisy et al, Clin. Orthop. 2000, 373: 104-14). Binding of M-CSF to the Fms product stimulates formation of osteoclasts and osteolytic activity (Kodama et al, J. Exp. Med. 1991, 173: 269-72; Feng et al, Endocrinology 2002, 143: 4868-74). Accordingly, inhibition of osteoclast activity at the level of Fms offers a compelling target for amelioration of bone metastasis.

Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys. It may be caused for example by a bacterial infection of the kidneys or exposure to a toxin. However, nephritis more commonly develops from an abnormal immune reaction, which can occur, for example, when an antibody attacks either the kidney itself or an antigen attached to kidney cells, or when an antigen-antibody complex formed elsewhere in the body attachs to cells in the kidney. Some types of nephritis involve infiltration of kidney tissues by white blood cells and deposits of antibodies. In other types of nephritis, inflammation may consist of tissue swelling or scarring without white blood cells or antibodies. Furthermore, nephritis can occur anywhere in the kidneys. With respect to the glomeruli, progressive damage to glomeruli causes urine production to fall and metabolic waste products to build up in the blood. When damage to glomeruli is severe, inflammatory cells and injured glomerular cells accumulate, compressing the capillaries within the glomerulus and interfering with filtration. Scarring may develop, impairing kidney function and reducing urine production. In some cases, microthrombi may form in the small blood vessels, further decreasing kidney function. Less commonly, nephritis involves the tubulointerstitial tissues; such inflammation is called tubulointerstitial nephritis. When inflammation damages the tubules and the tubulointerstitial tissues, the kidneys may become unable to concentrate urine, eliminate (excrete) metabolic waste products from the body, or balance the excretion of sodium and other electrolytes, such as potassium. When the tubules and tubulointerstitial tissues are damaged, kidney failure often develops. Accordingly, inhibition of Fms offers a target for therapeutic intervention in nephritis due to the modulation of the inflammatory response comprising the etiology of the disease.

Lupus nephritis, i.e., renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is a common disease manifestation with a poor prognosis. At least three potentially overlapping, immuno-pathogenic mechanisms for lupus nephritis are supported by experimental data. First, circulating immune complexes consisting chiefly of DNA and anti-DNA are deposited in the kidney. Resulting complement activation and chemotaxis of neutrophils leads to a local inflammatory process. Second, in situ formation of antigen and antibody complexes may similarly lead to complement activation and leucocyte mediated injury. Third, antibodies against specific cellular targets may produce renal injury. An additional mechanism is observed in SLE patients with the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Glomerular thrombosis can result from the hypercoagulability that accompanies antibodies directed against negatively charged phospholipid-protein complexes (e.g. biologic false positive VDRL, anticardiolipin antibodies, and lupus anticoagulant). Mesangial lupus nephritis is accompanied by normal diagnostic findings or with a mild degree of proteinuria but typically absence of hypertension or abnormal urinary sediment. Focal and diffuse proliferative lupus glomerulonephritis are often associated with the worst prognosis for renal survival and can be accompanied by nephrotic syndrome, significant hypertension and abnormal urine sediment. Membranous lupus nephritis often presents with proteinuria, moderate to high grade, but usually normal urinary sediment in the absence of hypertension. Mesangial lupus nephropathy is generally associated with an excellent prognosis, whereas proliferative lupus nephropathy, especially diffuse variant, is often characterized by hypertension, red cell casts and significant deterioration of renal function. Nephrotic syndrome in the absence of hypertension, active urinary sediment or significant hypocomplementemia suggest the membranous variant of lupus nephropathy. Membranous nephropathy generally is associated with a good prognosis and relative preservation of renal function. However, in the presence of persistent nephrotic range proteinuria, membranous lupus nephropathy can, in fact, lead to loss of renal function and end stage renal disease (ESRD). Accordingly, inhibition of Fms offers a target for therapeutic intervention in lupus due to the modulation of the inflammatory response comprising the etiology of the disease.

Macrophage accumulation is a prominent feature in many forms of glomerulonephritis. Local proliferation of macrophages within the kidney has been described in human and experimental glomerulonephritis and may have an important role in augmenting the inflammatory response. Isbel et al (Nephrol Dial Transplant 2001, 16: 1638-1647) examined the relationship between local macrophage proliferation and renal expression of M-CSF. Glomerular and tubulointerstitial M-CSF expression was found to be up-regulated in human glomerulonephritis, being most prominent in proliferative forms of disease. Because this correlates with local macrophage proliferation, it suggests that increased renal M-CSF production plays an important role in regulating local macrophage proliferation in human glomerulonephritis. In a model of renal inflammation (UUO—unilateral ureteric obstruction) anti-Fms antibody treatment reduced macrophage accumulation (Le Meur et. al., J Leukocyte Biology, 2002, 72: 530-537). Accordingly, inhibition of Fms offers a target for therapeutic intervention in glomerulonephritis.

Insulin resistance and obesity are hallmarks of type II diabetes and a strong correlation exists between insulin resistance and abdominal visceral fat accumulation (Bjorntrop, Diabetes Metab. Res. Rev., 1999, 15: 427-441). Current evidence indicates that macrophages accumulating in adipose tissue release TNF-a and other factors that cause adipocyte changes (hypertrophy, lipolysis, reduced insulin sensitivity) and also promote insulin resistance in surrounding tissues. Therefore, macrophage accumulation in type 2 diabetes is important for disease progression. Accordingly, inhibition of Fms has potential in preventing the development of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia.

Similarly, the observation that production of M-CSF, the major macrophage growth factor, is increased in tissues during inflammation points out a role for Fms in diseases, such as for example inflammatory diseases. More particularly, because elevated levels of M-CSF are found in the disease state, modulation of the activity of Fms can ameliorate disease associated with increased levels of M-CSF.

Fms inhibitors may be useful in treating inflammatory and autoimmune indications, including, but not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, dermatitis, ankylosing spondylitis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, Sjogren's disease, Langerhan's cell histiocytosis (LCH), Still's disease, inflammatory bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), transplant rejection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, Kawasaki's Disease, hemophagocytic syndrome (macrophage activation syndrome), multicentric reticulohistiocytosis, and atherosclerosis; metabolic disorders, including, but not limited to, Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, and lipolysis; disorders of bone structure, mineralization and bone formation and resorption, including, but not limited to, osteoporosis, osteodystrophy, increased risk of fracture, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, infection-mediated osteolysis (e.g. osteomyelitis), and peri-prosthetic or wear-debris-mediated osteolysis; kidney and genitourinary diseases, including, but not limited to, endometriosis, nephritis (e.g. glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, Lupus nephritis), tubular necrosis, diabetes-associated renal complications (e.g. diabetic nephropathy), and renal hypertrophy; disorders of the central nervous system, including, but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), myasthenia gravis, chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy, other demyelinating disorders, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease; inflammatory and chronic pain, including, but not limited to, bone pain; malignancies, including, but not limited to, multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, neuroblastoma, sarcoma, osteosarcoma, giant cell tumor of bone, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (TGCT), pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), tumor angiogenesis, melanoma, glioblastoma multiforme, glioma, other tumors of the central nervous system, metastasis of tumors to other tissues, and other chronic myeloproliferative diseases such as myelofibrosis; vasculitis, including but not limited to collagen vascular disease, polyarteritis nodosa, Behcet's disease, sarcoidosis, familiar Mediterranean fever, Churg-Strauss vasculitis, temporal arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu's arteritis; ophthalmic indications, including but not limited to uveitis, scleritis, retinitis, age related macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy; inherited disorders, including but not limited to cherubism, neurofibromatosis; infectious disease indications, including but not limited to infections associated with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human granulocytic anaplasmosis; lysosomal storage disorders, including but not limited to Gaucher's disease, Fabry's disease, Niemann-Pick disease; gastrointestinal indications, including but not limited to liver cirrhosis; pulmonary indications, including but not limited to pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung injury (e.g. ventilator-induced, smoke- or toxin-induced); and surgical indications, including but not limited to (cardiopulmonary) bypass surgery, vascular surgery, and vascular grafts.

Kit: Target kinase Kit (i.e., feline Hardy-Zuckerman 4 sarcoma viral oncogene) is a 109.9 kDa transmembrane tyrosine kinase encoded by chromosome 4q12 (symbol: KIT). Receptor protein tyrosine kinases (RPTKs) regulate key signal transduction cascades that control cellular growth and proliferation. The Stem Cell Factor (SCF) receptor Kit is a type III transmembrane RPTK that includes five extracellular immunoglobulin (IG) domains, a single transmembrane domain, and a split cytoplasmic kinase domain separated by a kinase insert segment. Kit plays an important role in the development of melanocytes, mast, germ, and hematopoietic cells.

Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a protein encoded by the 51 locus, and has also been called kit ligand (KL) and mast cell growth factor (MGF), based on the biological properties used to identify it (reviewed in Tsujimura, Pathol Int 1996, 46:933-938; Loveland, et al., J. Endocrinol 1997, 153:337-344; Vliagoftis, et al., Clin Immunol 1997, 100:435-440; Broudy, Blood 1997, 90:1345-1364; Pignon, Hermatol Cell Ther 1997, 39:114-116; and Lyman, et al., Blood 1998, 91:1101-1134.). Herein the abbreviation SCF refers to the ligand for Kit.

SCF is synthesized as a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of 220 or 248 Dalton, depending on alternative splicing of the mRNA to encode exon 6. The larger protein can be proteolytically cleaved to form a soluble, glycosylated protein which noncovalently dimerizes. Both the soluble and membrane-bound forms of SCF can bind to and activate Kit. For example, in the skin, SCF is predominantly expressed by fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells, which modulate the activity of melanocytes and mast cells expressing Kit. In bone, marrow stromal cells express SCF and regulate hematopoiesis of Kit expressing stem cells. In the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal epithelial cells express SCF and affect the interstitial cells of Cajal and intraepithelial lymphocytes. In the testis, sertoli cells and granulosa cells express SCF which regulates spermatogenesis by interaction with Kit on germ cells.

According to OMIM, signaling from Kit is essential for primordial germ cell growth both in vivo and in vitro. Many downstream effectors of the KIT signaling pathway have been identified in other cell types, but how these molecules control primordial germ cell survival and proliferation are unknown. Determination of the KIT effectors acting in primordial germ cells has been hampered by the lack of effective methods to manipulate easily gene expression in these cells. De Miguel et al. (2002) overcame this problem by testing the efficacy of retroviral-mediated gene transfer for manipulating gene expression in mammalian germ cells. They found that primordial germ cells can successfully be infected with a variety of types of retroviruses. They used this method to demonstrate an important role of the AKT1 in regulating primordial germ cell growth (OMIM MIM Number: 164920: Apr. 17, 2006).

Aberrant expression and/or activation of Kit has been implicated in a variety of pathologic states. For example, evidence for a contribution of Kit to neoplastic pathology includes its association with leukemias and mast cell tumors, small cell lung cancer, testicular cancer, and some cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. In addition, Kit has been implicated in playing a role in carcinogenesis of the female genital tract sarcomas of neuroectodermal origin, and Schwann cell neoplasia associated with neurofibromatosis. It was found that mast cells are involved in modifying the tumor microenvironment and enhancing tumor growth (Yang et al., J Clin Invest. 2003, 112:1851-1861; Viskochil, J Clin Invest. 2003, 112:1791-1793).

Kit inhibitors may be useful in treating malignancies, including, but not limited to, mast cell tumors, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), testicular cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, merkel cell carcinoma, carcinomas of the female genital tract, sarcomas of neuroectodermal origin, colorectal carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), tumor angiogenesis, glioblastoma, astrocytoma, neuroblastoma, Schwann cell neoplasia associated with neurofibromatosis, neurofibromatosis not associated with Schwann cell neoplasia, acute myelocytic leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, mastocytosis, melanoma, and canine mast cell tumors; cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension; inflammatory and autoimmune indications, including, but not limited to, allergy, anaphylaxis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, allergic rhinitis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel syndrome, transplant rejection, hypereosinophilia, urticaria and dermatitis; gastrointestinal indications, including but not limited to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), esophagitis, and gastrointestinal tract ulcers; ophthalmic indications, including but not limited to uveitis and retinitis; and neurologic indications, including but not limited to migraine.

Flt3: Target kinase Flt3 (i.e., Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase of 112.8 kDa encoded by chromosome 13q12 (symbol: FLT3). According to OMIM, Rosnet et al. (Genomics 1991, 9: 380-385) isolated a novel member of the class 3 receptors discussed above. They demonstrated that this gene of the tyrosine kinase family, called FLT3, has strong sequence similarities with other members of the group. Lymphohematopoietic stem cells serve as a reservoir for virtually all blood cells but make up only approximately 0.01% of human or murine marrow cells. The ability to isolate and expand this population has clinical applications in bone marrow transplantations for cancer and genetic diseases. Small et al. (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 1994, 91: 459-463) cloned the cDNA for stem cell tyrosine kinase 1, the human homolog of murine F1k2/Flt3, from a CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell-enriched library. The cDNA encoded a protein of 993 amino acids with 85% identity and 92% similarity to the murine homolog. STK1, which is identical to FLT3, is a member of the type III receptor tyrosine kinase family that includes KIT, FMS, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor. STK1 expression in human blood and marrow is restricted to CD34+ cells, a population greatly enriched by stem/progenitor cells. Antisense oligonucleotides directed against STK1 sequences inhibited hematopoietic colony formation, most strongly in long-term bone marrow cultures. The data suggested that STK1 may function as a growth factor receptor on hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells (OMIM MIM Number: 136351: Mar. 3, 2005).

Levis et al., state that Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 have been found in 20% to 30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These mutations constitutively activate the receptor and appear to be associated with a poor prognosis. In their study, dose-response cytotoxic assays were performed with AG1295, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor active against FLT3, on primary blasts from patients with AML, and they found that AG1295 was specifically cytotoxic to AML blasts harboring FLT3/ITD mutations. They suggest that these mutations contribute to the leukemic process and that the FLT3 receptor represents a therapeutic target in AML (Levis et al., Blood 2001, 98:885-887). An Flt3 inhibitor may be useful in treating acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

TrkA: Target kinase TrkA (i.e., neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 1) is a 140 kDa tyrosine kinase encoded by chromosome 1q21-q22 (symbol: NTRK1). TrkA inhibitors may be useful in treating pain (e.g. chronic pain, neuropathic pain), cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, lung cancer, myeloid leukemia, pancreatic cancer), allergic disorders (e.g. asthma), arthritis, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and psoriasis.

TrkA is a plasma member receptor composed of an extracellular domain (responsible for high affinity binding to nerve growth factor, NGF), a transmembrane segment and an intracellular protein tyrosine kinase domain (responsible to transmit the NGF signal to initiate and coordinate neuronal responses). NGF binding induces TrkA clustering on the membrane and activates the kinase. The kinase initiates a cascade of protein phosphorylation events through multiple pathways including SHC/Ras/MAPK, PI3K and PLCg1. A TrkA kinase inhibitor would not be expected to prevent NGF/TrkA binding, but could prevent down-stream signal transduction.

Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) is produced by a number of tissues and inflammatory cells during tissue injury and host immune response. It initiates and maintains hypersensitivity to incoming stimulus (hyperalgesia) and the perception of non-noxious stimuli (allodynia). Through its high-affinity receptor TrkA, NGF increases the excitation state of sensory neurons leading to the central nervous system (peripheral sensitization), and increases transmitter release from the dorsal spinal cord (central sensitization). In clinical trials, a single NGF subcutaneous injection generated local hyperalgesia persisting up to 7 weeks. At doses above 0.1 microgram/kg, NGF caused muscle pain that varied from mild to moderate, primarily in the bulbar and truncal musculature. Intravenous NGF produced earlier and more pronounced systemic effects (Petty et al, 1994, Ann Neurol. 36: 244-6). Conversely, TrkA kinase inhibitors could be used to treat diseases of enhanced states of nociception.

In Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-induced hind-paw inflammation, spinal nerve ligation and streptozoticin-induced neuropathic pain models, a single intraperitoneal injection of anti-NGF reversed established tactile allodynia from day 3 to day 7 following treatment. In the mouse CCl model, anti-NGF reversed tactile allodynia when administered 2 weeks after surgery. Repeated administration of this antibody to CCl mice for 3 weeks produced a sustained reversal of tactile allodynia (Wild et al, 2007, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 322:282-287).

Prostate tumors that have metastasized to bone frequently induce bone pain which can be difficult to fully control as it seems to be driven simultaneously by inflammatory, neuropathic, and tumorigenic mechanisms. Anti-NGF produced a significant reduction in both early and late stage bone cancer pain-related behaviors. This therapy did not influence tumor-induced bone remodeling, osteoblast proliferation, osteoclastogenesis, tumor growth, or markers of sensory or sympathetic innervation in the skin or bone. All nerve fibers that innervate the bone express TrkA and p′75, and these are the receptors through which NGF sensitizes and/or activates nociceptors (Halvorson et al, 2005, Cancer Res. 65:9426-35).

In patients with mild asthma due to exposure to cat allergen, NGF expression was strongly induced in epithelial cells, fibroblasts, blood vessels, and a few infiltrating cells. TrkA mRNA and protein levels in bronchial biopsies were increased significantly after allergen exposure in infiltrating mast cells before the onset of symptoms (Kassel et al, 2001, Clin Exp Allergy 31:1432-40).

The late phase reaction in asthma following allergen provocation is dominated by an influx of activated eosinophils into the bronchial lumen, which correlates with the release of eosinophilic products into the airways to increase disease severity. The viability and activation of eosinophils from patients with mild asthma were significantly enhanced after NGF stimulation. Addition of neutralizing anti-NGF antibodies ex vivo abrogated the effects (Nassentein et al, 2003, J Exp Med 198:455-467). TrkA kinase inhibitors could decrease this paracrine loop between the respiratory tract and infiltrating mast cells as well as endobronchial eosinophils, and thus be useful for the treatment of asthma and other allergic disorders.

TrkB: Target kinase TrkB (i.e., neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 2) is a 145 kDa tyrosine kinase encoded by chromosome 9q22.1 (symbol: NTRK2). TrkB inhibitors may be useful in treating various cancers and their metastases (e.g. prostate cancer, lung cancer, Wilms tumors, neuroblastoma, and pancreatic cancer), and various neuropathies (e.g. stroke, multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, and encephalitis).

In clinical trials with recombinant BDNF, paresthesia was developed at the site of subcutaneous injection (Coulie et al, 2000, Gastroenterology 119:41-50). Intrathecal infusion of BDNF in humans also induced paresthesia and warmth as side effects (Ochs et al, 2000, Amyotroph Lateral Scler Other Motor Neuron Disord. 1:201-6). Chronic paresthesia is often a symptom of an underlying neurological disease or traumatic nerve damage. Paresthesia can be caused by disorders affecting the central nervous system, such as stroke and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes), multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, and encephalitis. Since BDNF binds to TrkB specifically with high affinity these neuropath effects are mediated through TrkB signaling. Thus Trkb kinase inhibitors could be used to treat certain patients with neuropathy.

BDNF is known to act at the synapses between primary sensory and spinal dorsal horn neurons to affect pain transmission during inflammation. The primary afferent is the only source of BDNF in the spinal cord, and it is up-regulated in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) by peripheral NGF a few days after inflammation, and is transported and released into the superficial dorsal horn in an activity-dependent manner. TrkB expression in the dorsal horn also increases for a few days after inflammation. These findings suggest that BDNF may act during the restricted period in the early phase of inflammation. Through TrkB, BDNF activates two distinct channels: (1) transient receptor potential canonicals (TRPC3), which produces a slow response by opening of a non-selective cation channel; and (2) Na⁺ channel, which mediates a rapid depolarization in the hippocampus. These channels have been strongly associated with inflammatory pain. Anti-BDNF significantly increased the withdrawal threshold in CFA-treated rats, a model of inflammatory pain. Since the swelling at the site of CFA injection was not affected by antiserum, the residual component might be due to peripheral sensitization (Matayoshi et al, 2005, J. Physiol. 569:685-95).

In patients with neuroblastomas, co-expression of TrkB and BDNF, co-expression of TrkB with N-Myc amplification, and expression of truncated TrkB are found to be associated with poorer clinical outcome (Nakagawara et al, 1994, Mol Cell Biol. 14:759-767). Co-expression of TrkB with its ligand BDNF could generate a positive feedback loop through autocrine and paracrine loops. Also TrkB truncations found in these tumors generate activated forms of the intracellular protein tyrosine kinase. The constitutively active TrkB signals through multiple pathways to promote cancer initiation, progression and metastasis. These truncated TrkB kinases were also found in hepatocellular carcinoma (Yang et al, 2005, Cancer. Res 65:219-225). Thus TrkB inhibitors could be used to treat a sub-population of cancer patients with an activated TrkB pathway.

In patients with pancreatic cancer, TrkB expression is correlated with perineural invasion, positive retroperitoneal margin, and shorter latency to development of liver metastasis (Sclabas et al, 2005, Clin. Cancer. Res V11:440-449). Mechanistically, TrkB activates the PI3K pathway to suppress anoikis (apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions) which is one of the physiological barriers to metastasis. TrkB kinase inhibition could break down resistance to anoikis of metastasizing tumors (Douma et al, 2004, Nature 430:1034-9). Therefore, TrkB inhibitors could have utility in a broad range of tumor types.

TrkC: Target kinase TrkC (i.e., neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 3) is a 145 kDa tyrosine kinase encoded by chromosome 15q25 (symbol: NTRK3). TrkC inhibitors may be useful in treating pain (e.g. chronic pain, neuropathic pain), cancer (e.g. lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, mesoblastic nephroma, infantile fibrosarcoma, neuroblastoma, gastric cancer), and panic disorder.

Involvement of TrkC in the molecular and cellular changes underlying panic attacks and opiate dependence has been indicated (Gallego et al., Front Behay. Neurosci., 2010, 3:60). TrkC expression in mechanosecnsory neurons suggests a role for TrkC inhibition in treatment of pain (J. Comp. Neurol., 2008, 511(4):543-56.

TrkC is also involved in a variety of cancers, for example neuroblastoma (J. Clin. Invest., 2010, 120(3):850-8), mesoblastic nephroma, infantile fibrosarcoma, and secretory breast cancer, where ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion is present (Pediatr. Radiol. 2009, 39(10):1066-74; J. Clin. Pathol. 2009, 62(7):604-12) and cancers involving mutations in TrkC, such as lung cancer, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer (Marchetti et al., Hum. Mutat. 2008, 29(5):609-16; Kubo et al., Carcinogenesis, 2009, 30(11):1857-64); and Kubo et al., Pancreas, 2009, 38(7):e200-6).

Kinase Activity Assays

A number of different assays for kinase activity can be utilized for assaying for active modulators and/or determining specificity of a modulator for a particular kinase or group or kinases. In addition to the assay mentioned in the Examples below, one of ordinary skill in the art will know of other assays that can be utilized and can modify an assay for a particular application. For example, numerous papers concerning kinases describe assays that can be used.

Additional alternative assays can employ binding determinations. For example, this sort of assay can be formatted either in a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) format, or using an AlphaScreen (amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay) format by varying the donor and acceptor reagents that are attached to streptavidin or the phosphor-specific antibody.

Organic Synthetic Techniques

A wide array of organic synthetic techniques exist in the art to facilitate the construction of potential modulators. Many of these organic synthetic methods are described in detail in standard reference sources utilized by those skilled in the art. One example of such a reference is March, 1994, Advanced Organic Chemistry; Reactions, Mechanisms and Structure, New York, McGraw Hill. Thus, the techniques useful to synthesize a potential modulator of kinase function are readily available to those skilled in the art of organic chemical synthesis.

Alternative Compound Forms or Derivatives

Compounds contemplated herein are described with reference to both generic formulae and specific compounds. In addition, invention compounds may exist in a number of different forms or derivatives, all within the scope of the present invention. Alternative forms or derivatives, include, for example, (a) prodrugs, and active metabolites (b) tautomers, isomers (including stereoisomers and regioisomers), and racemic mixtures (c) pharmaceutically acceptable salts and (d) solid forms, including different crystal forms, polymorphic or amorphous solids, including hydrates and solvates thereof, and other forms.

(a) Prodrugs and Metabolites

In addition to the present formulae and compounds described herein, the invention also includes prodrugs (generally pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs), active metabolic derivatives (active metabolites), and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Prodrugs are compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which, when metabolized under physiological conditions or when converted by solvolysis, yield the desired active compound. Prodrugs include, without limitation, esters, amides, carbamates, carbonates, ureides, solvates, or hydrates of the active compound. Typically, the prodrug is inactive, or less active than the active compound, but may provide one or more advantageous handling, administration, and/or metabolic properties. For example, some prodrugs are esters of the active compound; during metabolysis, the ester group is cleaved to yield the active drug. Esters include, for example, esters of a carboxylic acid group, or S-acyl or O-acyl derivatives of thiol, alcohol, or phenol groups. In this context, a common example is an alkyl ester of a carboxylic acid. Prodrugs may also include variants wherein an —NH group of the compound has undergone acylation, such as the 1-position of the 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine ring or the 7-position of the 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine of compounds of Formula I, where cleavage of the acyl group provides the free —NH group of the active drug. Some prodrugs are activated enzymatically to yield the active compound, or a compound may undergo further chemical reaction to yield the active compound. Prodrugs may proceed from prodrug form to active form in a single step or may have one or more intermediate forms which may themselves have activity or may be inactive.

As described in The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, Ch. 31-32 (Ed. Wermuth, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif., 2001), prodrugs can be conceptually divided into two non-exclusive categories, bioprecursor prodrugs and carrier prodrugs. Generally, bioprecursor prodrugs are compounds that are inactive or have low activity compared to the corresponding active drug compound, that contain one or more protective groups and are converted to an active form by metabolism or solvolysis. Both the active drug form and any released metabolic products should have acceptably low toxicity. Typically, the formation of active drug compound involves a metabolic process or reaction that is one of the following types:

Oxidative reactions: Oxidative reactions are exemplified without limitation by reactions such as oxidation of alcohol, carbonyl, and acid functionalities, hydroxylation of aliphatic carbons, hydroxylation of alicyclic carbon atoms, oxidation of aromatic carbon atoms, oxidation of carbon-carbon double bonds, oxidation of nitrogen-containing functional groups, oxidation of silicon, phosphorus, arsenic, and sulfur, oxidative N-dealkylation, oxidative O- and S-dealkylation, oxidative deamination, as well as other oxidative reactions.

Reductive reactions: Reductive reactions are exemplified without limitation by reactions such as reduction of carbonyl functionalitites, reduction of alcohol functionalities and carbon-carbon double bonds, reduction of nitrogen-containing functional groups, and other reduction reactions.

Reactions without change in the oxidation state: Reactions without change in the state of oxidation are exemplified without limitation by reactions such as hydrolysis of esters and ethers, hydrolytic cleavage of carbon-nitrogen single bonds, hydrolytic cleavage of non-aromatic heterocycles, hydration and dehydration at multiple bonds, new atomic linkages resulting from dehydration reactions, hydrolytic dehalogenation, removal of hydrogen halide molecule, and other such reactions.

Carrier prodrugs are drug compounds that contain a transport moiety, e.g., that improves uptake and/or localized delivery to a site(s) of action. Desirably for such a carrier prodrug, the linkage between the drug moiety and the transport moiety is a covalent bond, the prodrug is inactive or less active than the drug compound, the prodrug and any release transport moiety are acceptably non-toxic. For prodrugs where the transport moiety is intended to enhance uptake, typically the release of the transport moiety should be rapid. In other cases, it is desirable to utilize a moiety that provides slow release, e.g., certain polymers or other moieties, such as cyclodextrins. (See, e.g., Cheng et al., U.S. Patent Publ. No. 20040077595, application Ser. No. 10/656,838, incorporated herein by reference.) Such carrier prodrugs are often advantageous for orally administered drugs. In some instances, the transport moiety provides targeted delivery of the drug, for example the drug may be conjugated to an antibody or antibody fragment. Carrier prodrugs can, for example, be used to improve one or more of the following properties: increased lipophilicity, increased duration of pharmacological effects, increased site-specificity, decreased toxicity and adverse reactions, and/or improvement in drug formulation (e.g., stability, water solubility, suppression of an undesirable organoleptic or physiochemical property). For example, lipophilicity can be increased by esterification of hydroxyl groups with lipophilic carboxylic acids, or of carboxylic acid groups with alcohols, e.g., aliphatic alcohols. Wermuth, supra.

Metabolites, e.g., active metabolites, overlap with prodrugs as described above, e.g., bioprecursor prodrugs. Thus, such metabolites are pharmacologically active compounds or compounds that further metabolize to pharmacologically active compounds that are derivatives resulting from metabolic processes in the body of a subject. Of these, active metabolites are such pharmacologically active derivative compounds. For prodrugs, the prodrug compound is generally inactive or of lower activity than the metabolic product. For active metabolites, the parent compound may be either an active compound or may be an inactive prodrug. For example, in some compounds, one or more alkoxy groups can be metabolized to hydroxyl groups while retaining pharmacologic activity and/or carboxyl groups can be esterified, e.g., glucuronidation. In some cases, there can be more than one metabolite, where an intermediate metabolite(s) is further metabolized to provide an active metabolite. For example, in some cases a derivative compound resulting from metabolic glucuronidation may be inactive or of low activity, and can be further metabolized to provide an active metabolite.

Metabolites of a compound may be identified using routine techniques known in the art, and their activities determined using tests such as those described herein. See, e.g., Bertolini et al., 1997, J. Med. Chem., 40:2011-2016; Shan et al., 1997, J Pharm Sci 86(7):756-757; Bagshawe, 1995, Drug Dev. Res., 34:220-230; Wermuth, supra.

(b) Tautomers, Stereoisomers, and Regioisomers

It is understood that some compounds may exhibit tautomerism. In such cases, the formulae provided herein expressly depict only one of the possible tautomeric forms. It is therefore to be understood that the formulae provided herein are intended to represent any tautomeric form of the depicted compounds and are not to be limited merely to the specific tautomeric form depicted by the drawings of the formulae.

Likewise, some of the compounds according to the present invention may exist as stereoisomers, i.e. having the same atomic connectivity of covalently bonded atoms yet differing in the spatial orientation of the atoms. For example, compounds may be optical stereoisomers, which contain one or more chiral centers, and therefore, may exist in two or more stereoisomeric forms (e.g. enantiomers or diastereomers). Thus, such compounds may be present as single stereoisomers (i.e., essentially free of other stereoisomers), racemates, and/or mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereomers. As another example, stereoisomers include geometric isomers, such as cis- or trans-orientation of substituents on adjacent carbons of a double bond, or on carbon atoms of a cycloalkyl. All such single stereoisomers, racemates and mixtures thereof are intended to be within the scope of the present invention. Unless specified to the contrary, all such steroisomeric forms are included within the formulae provided herein.

In some embodiments, a chiral compound of the present invention is in a form that contains at least 80% of a single isomer (60% enantiomeric excess (“e.e.”) or diastereomeric excess (“d.e.”)), or at least 85% (70% e.e. or d.e.), 90% (80% e.e. or d.e.), 95% (90% e.e. or d.e.), 97.5% (95% e.e. or d.e.), or 99% (98% e.e. or d.e.). As generally understood by those skilled in the art, an optically pure compound having one chiral center is one that consists essentially of one of the two possible enantiomers (i.e., is enantiomerically pure), and an optically pure compound having more than one chiral center is one that is both diastereomerically pure and enantiomerically pure. In some embodiments, the compound is present in optically pure form, such optically pure form being prepared and/or isolated by methods known in the art (e.g. by recrystallization techniques, chiral synthetic techniques (including synthesis from optically pure starting materials), and chromatographic separation using a chiral column.

(c) Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts

Unless specified to the contrary, specification of a compound herein includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compound. Thus, compounds of Formula I can be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or can be formulated as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Contemplated pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms include, without limitation, mono, bis, tris, tetrakis, and so on. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are non-toxic in the amounts and concentrations at which they are administered. The preparation of such salts can facilitate the pharmacological use by altering the physical characteristics of a compound without preventing it from exerting its physiological effect. Useful alterations in physical properties include lowering the melting point to facilitate transmucosal administration and increasing the solubility to facilitate administering higher concentrations of the drug. A compound of the invention may possess a sufficiently acidic, a sufficiently basic, or both functional groups, and accordingly can react with any of a number of inorganic or organic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid addition salts such as those containing chloride, bromide, iodide, hydrochloride, acetate, phenylacetate, acrylate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzoate, 2-phenoxybenzoate, 2-acetoxybenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, methoxybenzoate, methylbenzoate, bicarbonate, butyne-1,4 dioate, hexyne-1,6-dioate, caproate, caprylate, chlorobenzoate, cinnamate, citrate, decanoate, formate, fumarate, glycolate, gluconate, glucarate, glucuronate, glucose-6-phosphate, glutamate, heptanoate, hexanoate, isethionate, isobutyrate, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, phenylbutyrate, lactate, malate, maleate, hydroxymaleate, methylmaleate, malonate, mandelate, nicotinate, nitrate, isonicotinate, octanoate, oleate, oxalate, pamoate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, orthophosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, 2-phosphoglycerate, 3-phosphoglycerate, phthalate, propionate, phenylpropionate, propiolate, pyruvate, quinate, salicylate, 4-aminosalicylate, sebacate, stearate, suberate, succinate, sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, sulfamate, sulfonate, benzenesulfonate (i.e. besylate), ethanesulfonate (i.e. esylate), ethane-1,2-disulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate (i.e. isethionate), methanesulfonate (i.e. mesylate), naphthalene-1-sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate (i.e. napsylate), propanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate (i.e. tosylate), xylenesulfonates, cyclohexylsulfamate, tartrate, and trifluoroacetate. These pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be prepared using the appropriate corresponding acid.

When acidic functional groups, such as carboxylic acid or phenol are present, pharmaceutically acceptable salts also include basic addition salts such as those containing benzathine, chloroprocaine, choline, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, t-butylamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, meglumine, hydroxyethylpyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, piperazine, procaine, aluminum, calcium, copper, iron, lithium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, zinc, ammonium, and mono-, di-, or tri-alkylamines (e.g. diethylamine), or salts derived from amino acids such as L-histidine, L-glycine, L-lysine, and L-arginine. For example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 19^(th) ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., Vol. 2, p. 1457, 1995. These pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be prepared using the appropriate corresponding base.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared by standard techniques. For example, the free-base form of a compound can be dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as an aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solution containing the appropriate acid and then isolated by evaporating the solution. In another example, a salt can be prepared by reacting the free base and acid in an organic solvent. If the particular compound is an acid, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an appropriate inorganic or organic base.

(d) Other Compound Forms

In the case of agents that are solids, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the compounds and salts may exist in different crystal or polymorphic forms, or may be formulated as co-crystals, or may be in an amorphous form, or may be any combination thereof (e.g. partially crystalline, partially amorphous, or mixtures of polymorphs) all of which are intended to be within the scope of the present invention and specified formulae. Whereas salts are formed by acid/base addition, i.e. a free base or free acid of the compound of interest forms an acid/base reaction with a corresponding addition base or addition acid, respectively, resulting in an ionic charge interaction, co-crystals are a new chemical species that is formed between neutral compounds, resulting in the compound and an additional molecular species in the same crystal structure.

In some instances, compounds of the invention are complexed with an acid or a base, including base addition salts such as ammonium, diethylamine, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, diethanolamine, t-butylamine, piperazine, meglumine; acid addition salts, such as acetate, acetylsalicylate, besylate, camsylate, citrate, formate, fumarate, glutarate, hydrochlorate, maleate, mesylate, nitrate, oxalate, phosphate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate and tosylate; and amino acids such as alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine or valine. In combining the compound of the invention with the acid or base, an amorphous complex is preferably formed rather than a crystalline material such as a typical salt or co-crystal. In some instances, the amorphous form of the complex is facilitated by additional processing, such as by spray-drying, mechanochemical methods such as roller compaction, or microwave irradiation of the parent compound mixed with the acid or base. Such methods may also include addition of ionic and/or non-ionic polymer systems, including, but not limited to, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) and methacrylic acid copolymer (e.g. Eudragit® L100-55), that further stabilize the amorphous nature of the complex. Such amorphous complexes provide several advantages. For example, lowering of the melting temperature relative to the free base facilitiates additional processing, such as hot melt extrusion, to further improve the biopharmaceutical properties of the compound. Also, the amorphous complex is readily friable, which provides improved compression for loading of the solid into capsule or tablet form.

Additionally, the formulae are intended to cover hydrated or solvated as well as unhydrated or unsolvated forms of the identified structures. For example, the indicated compounds include both hydrated and non-hydrated forms. Other examples of solvates include the structures in combination with a suitable solvent, such as isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, or ethanolamine.

Formulations and Administration

The methods and compounds will typically be used in therapy for human subjects. However, they may also be used to treat similar or identical indications in other animal subjects. Compounds of Formula I or any of the subformulas as described herein, or any of the compounds disclosed in any of the embodiments and examples, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof can be administered by different routes, including injection (i.e. parenteral, including intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular), oral, transdermal, transmucosal, rectal, or inhalant. Such dosage forms should allow the compound to reach target cells. Other factors are well known in the art, and include considerations such as toxicity and dosage forms that retard the compound or composition from exerting its effects.

Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose, weekly dose, monthly dose, a sub-dose or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Furthermore, such pharmaceutical formulations may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmacy art.

Pharmaceutical preparations that can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin (“gelcaps”), as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin, and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols.

In some embodiments, injection (parenteral administration) may be used, e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and/or subcutaneous. Compounds of Formula I for injection may be formulated in sterile liquid solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers or solutions, such as saline solution, Hank's solution, or Ringer's solution. Dispersions may also be prepared in non-aqueous solutions, such as glycerol, propylene glycol, ethanol, liquid polyethylene glycols, triacetin, and vegetable oils. Solutions may also contain a preservative, such as methylparaben, propylparaben, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In addition, the compounds may be formulated in solid form, including, for example, lyophilized forms, and redissolved or suspended prior to use.

In some embodiments, transmucosal, topical or transdermal administration may be used. In such formulations of compounds of Formula I, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used. Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and include, for example, for transmucosal administration, bile salts and fusidic acid derivatives. In addition, detergents may be used to facilitate permeation. Transmucosal administration, for example, may be through nasal sprays or suppositories (rectal or vaginal). Compositions of compounds of Formula I for topical administration may be formulated as oils, creams, lotions, ointments, and the like by choice of appropriate carriers known in the art. Suitable carriers include vegetable or mineral oils, white petrolatum (white soft paraffin), branched chain fats or oils, animal fats and high molecular weight alcohol (greater than C₁₂). In some embodiments, carriers are selected such that the active ingredient is soluble. Emulsifiers, stabilizers, humectants and antioxidants may also be included as well as agents imparting color or fragrance, if desired. Creams for topical application are preferably formulated from a mixture of mineral oil, self-emulsifying beeswax and water in which mixture the active ingredient, dissolved in a small amount of solvent (e.g., an oil), is admixed. Additionally, administration by transdermal means may comprise a transdermal patch or dressing such as a bandage impregnated with an active ingredient and optionally one or more carriers or diluents known in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.

In some embodiments, compounds are administered as inhalants. Compounds of Formula I may be formulated as dry powder or a suitable solution, suspension, or aerosol. Powders and solutions may be formulated with suitable additives known in the art. For example, powders may include a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch, and solutions may comprise propylene glycol, sterile water, ethanol, sodium chloride and other additives, such as acid, alkali and buffer salts. Such solutions or suspensions may be administered by inhaling via spray, pump, atomizer, or nebulizer, and the like. The compounds of Formula I may also be used in combination with other inhaled therapies, for example corticosteroids such as fluticasone proprionate, beclomethasone dipropionate, triamcinolone acetonide, budesonide, and mometasone furoate; beta agonists such as albuterol, salmeterol, and formoterol; anticholinergic agents such as ipratroprium bromide or tiotropium; vasodilators such as treprostinal and iloprost; enzymes such as DNAase; therapeutic proteins; immunoglobulin antibodies; an oligonucleotide, such as single or double stranded DNA or RNA, siRNA; antibiotics such as tobramycin; muscarinic receptor antagonists; leukotriene antagonists; cytokine antagonists; protease inhibitors; cromolyn sodium; nedocril sodium; and sodium cromoglycate.

The amounts of various compounds to be administered can be determined by standard procedures taking into account factors such as the compound activity (in vitro, e.g. the compound IC₅₀ vs. target, or in vivo activity in animal efficacy models), pharmacokinetic results in animal models (e.g. biological half-life or bioavailability), the age, size, and weight of the subject, and the disorder associated with the subject. The importance of these and other factors are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Generally, a dose will be in the range of about 0.01 to 50 mg/kg, also about 0.1 to 20 mg/kg of the subject being treated. Multiple doses may be used.

The compounds of Formula I may also be used in combination with other therapies for treating the same disease. Such combination use includes administration of the compounds and one or more other therapeutics at different times, or co-administration of the compound and one or more other therapies. In some embodiments, dosage may be modified for one or more of the compounds of the invention or other therapeutics used in combination, e.g., reduction in the amount dosed relative to a compound or therapy used alone, by methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

It is understood that use in combination includes use with other therapies, drugs, medical procedures etc., where the other therapy or procedure may be administered at different times (e.g. within a short time, such as within hours (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4-24 hours), or within a longer time (e.g. 1-2 days, 2-4 days, 4-7 days, 1-4 weeks)) than a compound of Formula I, or at the same time as a compound of Formula I. Use in combination also includes use with a therapy or medical procedure that is administered once or infrequently, such as surgery, along with a compound of Formula I administered within a short time or longer time before or after the other therapy or procedure. In some embodiments, the present invention provides for delivery of a compound of Formula I and one or more other drug therapeutics delivered by a different route of administration or by the same route of administration. The use in combination for any route of administration includes delivery of a compound of Formula I and one or more other drug therapeutics delivered by the same route of administration together in any formulation, including formulations where the two compounds are chemically linked in such a way that they maintain their therapeutic activity when administered. In one aspect, the other drug therapy may be co-administered with a compound of Formula I. Use in combination by co-administration includes administration of co-formulations or formulations of chemically joined compounds, or administration of two or more compounds in separate formulations within a short time of each other (e.g. within an hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, up to 24 hours), administered by the same or different routes. Co-administration of separate formulations includes co-administration by delivery via one device, for example the same inhalant device, the same syringe, etc., or administration from separate devices within a short time of each other. Co-formulations of a compound of Formula I and one or more additional drug therapies delivered by the same route includes preparation of the materials together such that they can be administered by one device, including the separate compounds combined in one formulation, or compounds that are modified such that they are chemically joined, yet still maintain their biological activity. Such chemically joined compounds may have a linkage that is substantially maintained in vivo, or the linkage may break down in vivo, separating the two active components.

Example 16 Compound Properties

While the inhibitory activity of the compounds on any of Fms, Kit, Flt-3, TrkA, TrkB and TrkC kinase is important to their activity in treating of disease, the compounds described herein show favorable properties that provide advantages as a pharmaceutical as well. In some instances, Fms selectivity relative to Kit and other kinases provides preferred activity for treating certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, Lupus nephritis, tubular necrosis, diabetic nephropathy, or renal hypertrophy. In some instances, Fms selectivity of compounds in combination with the compounds inability to cross the blood brain barrier provides preferred activity for treating certain diseases, such as osteoarthritis, glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, Lupus nephritis, tubular necrosis, diabetic nephropathy, or renal hypertrophy. In some instances, Fms selectivity of compounds in combination with the compounds ability to effectively cross the blood brain barrier provides preferred activity for treating certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson's disease. In some instances, dual Fms/Kit activity provides preferred activity for treating certain diseases, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, melanoma, acute myeloid leukemia, brain metastases, neurofibromatosis, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. In some instances, dual Fms/Flt-3 activity provides preferred activity for treating certain diseases, such as acute myeloid leukemia. In addition to demonstrating kinase inhibitory activity against Fms, Kit, Flt-3 or at least both Fms and Kit or at least both Fms and Flt-3 in both biochemical and cell based assays, compounds have improved solubility, improved pharmacokinetic properties, and low Cyp inhibition. The compounds are assessed in the following assays or similar assays available to one skilled in the art.

Assays for biochemical and cell based activity are known in the art, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication Number 2009/0076046, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference as it relates to such assays. For example, in one assay the biochemical activity IC₅₀ values are determined with respect to inhibition of c-Kit kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested are dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 20 mM. These are diluted 30 μL into 120 μL of DMSO (4 mM) and 1 μL is added to an assay plate. These are then serially diluted 1:2 (50 μL to 100 μL DMSO) for a total of 8 points. Plates are prepared such that each kinase reaction is 20 μL in 1× kinase buffer (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 2 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM MnCl₂, 0.01% Tween-20, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA), 5% DMSO and 100 μM ATP. Substrate is 30 nM biotin-(E4Y) 10 (Millipore). C-kit kinase (obtained from Millipore (#14-559) or is prepared as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication Number 2009/0076046, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference as it relates to this assay) is at 0.75 ng per sample. After incubation of the kinase reaction for 1 hour at room temperature, 5 μL of donor beads (Streptavidin coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 10 μg/mL) in stop buffer (25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 100 mM EDTA, 0.01% BSA) is added, the sample is mixed and incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature before adding 5 μL of acceptor beads (PY20 coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 10 μg/mL) in stop buffer. The samples are incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature and the signal per well is read on Envision reader. Phosphorylated substrate results in binding of the PY20 antibody and association of the donor and acceptor beads such that signal correlates with kinase activity. The signal vs. compound concentration is used to determine the IC₅₀.

In one assay the biochemical activity IC₅₀ values are determined with respect to inhibition of Fms kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested, dissolved in DMSO (1 μL), are added to a white 384-well plate (Costar #3705). Working stocks of Fms kinase (Invitrogen #PV3249), biotin-(E4Y)₁₀ substrate (Upstate Biotech, Cat# 12-440), and ATP (Sigma, Cat#A-3377) are prepared in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 0.5 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM MnCl₂, 2 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA, and 0.01% Tween-20. All components are added to the 384-well plate for a final concentration of 1 ng/well Fms, 30 nM biotin-(E4Y)₁₀ (Upstate Biotechnology) and 100 μM ATP in a volume of 20 μL. Each sample is at 5% DMSO. The plate is then incubated for 20 minutes at 30° C. Just before use, working stocks of donor and acceptor beads from the AlphaScreen PY20 Detection Kit (PerkinElmer, Cat#676601M) are prepared in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, pH 7.4, 100 mM EDTA, 0.01% BSA. To stop the reaction, the plate is uncovered in the dark and 5 μL of Donor Beads solution (Streptavidin beads) is added to each well. The plate is incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. Five microliters of Acceptor Beads solution (PY20 coated beads) are then added to each well. The final concentration of each bead is 10 μg/mL. The plates are incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Fluorescence signal is recorded on the Envision reader. Phosphorylated substrate results in binding of the PY20 antibody and association of the donor and acceptor beads such that signal correlates with kinase activity. The signal vs. compound concentration is used to determine the IC₅₀.

In one assay the biochemical activity IC₅₀ values are determined with respect to inhibition of Flt-3 kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested, dissolved in DMSO (1 μL), are added to a white 384-well plate (Costar #3705). Working stocks of Flt-3 kinase (Invitrogen), biotin-(E4Y)₁₀ substrate (Upstate Biotech, Cat# 12-440), and ATP (Sigma, Cat#A-3377) are prepared in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 5 mM MnCl₂, 1 mM DTT, and 0.01% Tween-20. All components are added to the 384-well plate for a final concentration of 1 ng/well Flt-3, 30 nM biotin-(E4Y)₁₀ and 100 μM ATP in a volume of 20 μL. Each sample is at 5% DMSO. The plate is then incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Just before use, working stocks of donor and acceptor beads from the AlphaScreen PY20 Detection Kit (PerkinElmer, Cat#676601M) are prepared in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, pH 7.4, 100 mM EDTA. 0.3% BSA. To stop the reaction, the plate is uncovered in the dark and 5 μL of Donor Beads solution (Streptavidin beads) is added to each well. The plate is incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. Five microliters of Acceptor Beads solution (PY20 coated beads) are then added to each well. The final concentration of each bead is 10 μg/mL. The plates are incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Fluorescence signal is recorded on the Envision reader. Phosphorylated substrate results in binding of the PY20 antibody and association of the donor and acceptor beads such that signal correlates with kinase activity. The signal vs. compound concentration is used to determine the IC₅₀.

In one assay the biochemical activity IC₅₀ values are determined with respect to inhibition of TrkA kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested, dissolved in DMSO (1 μL), are added to a white 384-well plate (Costar #3705). Working stocks of TrkA kinase (UBI), biotin-(E4Y)₁₀ substrate (Upstate Biotech, Cat# 12-440), and ATP (Sigma, Cat#A-3377) are prepared in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM MnCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA, and 0.01% Tween-20. All components are added to the 384-well plate for a final concentration of 1 ng/well TrkA, 30 nM biotin-(E4Y)₁₀ and 100 μM ATP in a volume of 20 μL. Each sample is at 5% DMSO. The plate is shaken for 1 minute at 1200 rpm, spun for 1 minute at 1000 rpm, then incubated for 40 minutes at room temperature. Just before use, working stocks of donor and acceptor beads from the AlphaScreen PY20 Detection Kit (PerkinElmer, Cat#676601M) are prepared in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 100 mM EDTA. 0.01% BSA. Donor Beads solution (Streptavidin beads) is added (5 μL) to each well to final bead concentration of 10 μg/mL. The plate is incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. Acceptor Beads solution (PY20 coated beads) are then added to each well (5 μL) to a final concentration of bead at 10 μg/mL. The plates are incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Fluorescence signal is recorded on the Envision reader. Phosphorylated substrate results in binding of the PY20 antibody and association of the donor and acceptor beads such that signal correlates with kinase activity. The signal vs. compound concentration is used to determine the IC₅₀. Similar assays are used for TrkB and Trk C kinase.

Compounds are assessed in a variety of cell based assays. For example BaF3 cells engineered with any of BCR-FMS, BCR-KIT, BCR-FLT3, BCR-NTRK1, BCR-NTRK2, and BCR-NTRK3, are used in cell proliferation assays to assess inhibitory activity of Fms, Kit, Flt-3, TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC, respectively. An MV-4-11 (leukemia) cell proliferation assay is used to assess inhibitory activity in Flt-3, and SKNSH (human neuroblastoma) cell proliferation assay is used to assess efficacy of Fms/Trk inhibitors. Additional cells may be assayed similarly to assess the efficacy of Fms/Trk inhibitors, such as MiaPaCa (human pancreatic cancer) and Capan-1 (human pancreatic carcinoma) cells. Reagent and assay conditions are as follows:

-   -   BaF3 cells:     -   Maintained in RPMI containing 10% FBS, 1% PenStrep, 1% NEAA, and         1% L-Glutamine, supplemented with 1 mg/mL G418 and 5% WEHI-CM         (or recombinant murine IL-3).     -   Confluent cells are split 1:50 to 1:100 every 3-4 days.     -   MV-4-11 cells:     -   Maintained in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium containing 10%         FBS.     -   Confluent cells are split 1:4 every 3-4 days.     -   SKNSH cells: RPMI containing 10% FBS.         On day 1, cells are counted, then centrifuged in a conical tube         for 5 minutes at 1000 rpm. The supernatant is removed and cells         are re-suspended as follows:     -   BaF3: resuspend in growth media +1 mg/mL G418 (without WEHFIL-3)         to 2×10⁵ cells/mL.     -   MV-4-11: resuspend in growth media to 5×10⁵ cells/mL.     -   SKNSH: resuspend in growth media to 2×10⁴ cells/mL.         The cells are plated (50 μL, 150 μL for SKNSH cells) in each         well of a 96-well dish (Corning 3610) and incubated at 37° C. in         5% CO₂ overnight, cells plated to a final concentration of cells         as follows:     -   BaF3: 10,000 cells per well.     -   MV-4-11: 25,000 cells per well.     -   SKNSH: 3,000 cells per well.         On day 2, compound at a maximum concentration of 5 mM is         serially diluted 1:3 for a total of 8 point titration with DMSO         as a control. A 1 μL aliquot of each dilution point is added to         249 μL growth media and 50 μL is added to a well containing         cells, providing 10 μM compound for the maximum concentration         point. The cells are incubated for 3 days at 37° C. in 5% CO₂.         For SKNSH cells, a 0.75 μL aliquot of appropriate dilution in         DMSO is added to 150 μL of cells.         On day 5, ATPlite 1 step Luminescence Assay System (Perkin Elmer         # 6016739) is brought to room temperature along with the cell         cultures. ATPlite is added to each well as follows:     -   BaF3: 25 μL per well.     -   MV-4-11: 40 μL per well.     -   SKNSH: 20 μL per well.         The cells are incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, then         luminescence is read on Safire reader. The measured luminescence         correlates directly with cell number, such that the reading as a         function of compound concentration is used to determine the IC₅₀         value.

Further, an osteoclast differentiation assay is used to assess the efficacy of Fms inhibitors for treating bone disease such as osteoarthritis. On day 0, Osteoclast Medium BulletKit (Lonza catalog #PT-8001, containing Media, FBS, L-Glutamine, PenStrep, RANKL, and M-CSF) media is thawed and the FBS, L-glutamine and PenStrep from the kit is added to 100 mL of Osteoclast Precursor Basal medium to provide the Osteoclast Precursor Growth Medium (OPGM). This is warmed to 37° C. Osteoclast precursor cells (Lonza catalog #2T-110) frozen in cryovial are warmed to 37° C. and transferred to a 50 mL conical tube. The cryovial is rinsed with OPGM and added dropwise to the conical tube of cells with swirling, then the volume is adjusted to 20-30 mL with addition of OPGM. The cells are centrifuged at 200×g for 15 minutes at room temperature and all but approximately 3 mL of supernatant is removed to a new conical tube. The cells are suspended in the remaining supernatant and the volume is adjusted to 10-15 mL with OPGM added dropwise with swirling. The cells are centrifuged at 200×g for 15 minutes at room temperature and all but approximately 1 mL of supernatant is removed. The cells are resuspended in the remaining supernatant, counted, and the volume adjusted with an appropriate amount of OPGM to provide approximately 1×10⁵ cells/mL. A 0.1 mL aliquot of cells is added to each well of a 96-well plate. Compound to be tested is prepared in DMSO for plating at a high concentration of 2.5 mM, with 8 point 1:3 serial dilutions. A 1 μL aliquot of each compound dilution is added to a 96 well v-bottom polypropylene plate and 0.124 mL of OPGM is added to the compound. Then 50 μL at of the compound in OPGM is added to the osteoclast precursor cells in 96-well plate (providing highest test concentration of 5 μM). RANKL (2 μg) from the BulletKit is reconstituted in 1 mL of OPGM, then vortexed and centrifuged briefly. A 792 μL at aliquot of RANKL is added to 6 mL of OPGM and 50 μL at is added to low control wells. Then 76.6 μL M-CSF (10 μg/mL) from the BulletKit is added to the remaining 5.8 mL of OPGM/RANKL solution (4×RANKL/M-CSF/OPGM). A 50 μL at aliquot of this is added to the remaining wells, and the remainder is stored at 4° C. for later use. The plate is incubated at 37° C. for 6 days, then the remaining OPGM/RANKL/M-CSF solution is warmed to 37° C. The remaining approximately 198 μL is combined with 6 mL of OPGM. The media is aspirated from the osteoclast wells and 100 μL of RANKL/OPGM is added to the low controls. The remaining RANKL/OPGM is combined with the approximately 18.5 μL of remaining M-CSF. The remaining 4×RANKL/M-CSF/OPGM from day 0 is diluted to 1× and combined with the freshly prepared solution. A 0.1 mL aliquot of this is added to each osteoclast well and incubated for 37° C. for 1 day. The Acid Phosphatase kit (Cayman Chemical catalog #10008051) is warmed to room temperature. The assay buffer is diluted 5 mL with 45 mL of water. For each plate, two substrate tablets are dissolved in 4.5 mL of the assay buffer, mixing by vortex to break up the tablet. Stop solution is diluted 12 mL with 36 mL of water. In a tissue culture hood, 20 μL of each osteoclast well supernatant is transferred to a 96 well plate. A 30 μL aliquot of the substrate solution is added to each well and incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes, then added 100 μL stop solution to each well. The absorbance of each well is read at 405 nM on Safire plate reader. The absorbance reading is plotted vs. concentration to provide the IC₅₀ for each compound.

It is understood that the results of these assays may vary as assay conditions are varied. Inhibition levels determined under the conditions described herein represent a relative activity for the compounds tested under the specific conditions employed. The cell based assays are likely to show variability due to the complexity of the system and the sensitivity thereof to any changes in the assay conditions. As such, some level of inhibition in the cell based assays is indicative of the compounds having some inhibitory activity for those cells, whereas lack of inhibition at or below the threshold of the highest concentration tested does not necessarily indicate that the compound has no inhibitory activity on the cells, only that under the conditions tested, no inhibition is observed. Results for compounds that are tested and show substantially no inhibition below the highest tested concentration are represented as “-” in the tables below.

Compounds P-3001, P-3004, P-3006, P-3008, P-3013, P-3019, P-3027, P-3036, P-3039, P-3040, P-3041, P-3042, P-3043, P-3044, P-3045, P-4001, P-4004, P-4005, P-4006, P-4007, P-4008, P-4009, P-4010, P-4011, P-4012, P-4013, P-4014, P-4015, P-4016, P-4017, P-4022, P-4023, P-4024-P-4025, and P-4026 to P-4130 were assessed and showed activity in the osteoclast differentiation assay, where compounds P-3004, P-3006, P-3008, P-3019, P-3027, P-3036, P-3039, P-3041, P-3042, P-4001, P-4004, P-4005, P-4006, P-4007, P-4008, P-4009, P-4010, P-4011, P-4012, P-4013, P-4014, P-4015, P-4016, and P-4023 demonstrated an IC₅₀ below 0.1 μM in this assay.

Compounds also demonstrate in vivo activity in a splenomegaly mouse model, where BaF3 cell growth in the spleens of nude mice may show inhibition with compound treatment. BaF3 cells are engineered with any of BCR-FMS, BCR-TRK1 or BCR-TRK2 to assess in vivo inhibitory effects of Fms, TrkA or TrkB inhibition, respectively. BaF3 cells are maintained in growth media (RPMI containing 10% FBS, 1% PenStrep, 1% NEAA, and 1% L-Glutamine, supplemented with 5% murine IL-3 and 1 mg/mL G418). Four days prior to start, 2×10⁶ cells are inoculated into a T150 vented flask using the growth media and incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO₂ for three days. One day prior to start, cells are collected by centrifugation and are suspended in growth media without IL-3. On the day of cell implant, the cells are collected by centrifugation, rinsed 3×20 mL with RPMI, then are suspended in 5.4 mL of media and counted, then adjusted with additional RPMI as needed to give 5×10⁷ cells/mL. On day 1, female nu/nu mice at 5-6 weeks of age are injected intravenously with BaF3 cells injected injecting 0.1 mL (5×10⁶) cells in the tail vein (mice without cell injected are included as control group). Compound stocks in dimethylsulfoxide are stored at room temperature protected from light. Stocks are diluted prior to dosing, diluting 22 μL of compound stock into 858 μL of diluent (or 50 μL into 1950 μL) to provide vehicle of 1.0% Polysorbate 80, 0.5% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, with final dimethylsulfoxide at 2.5% in all dosing suspensions and vehicle control. Dosing suspension is prepared prior to use, mixing by inversion and sonication in a water bath to make a uniform suspension. On days 10-18, mice are treated with vehicle only or the desired level of compound in vehicle, ˜0.2 mL per 25 gm mouse, once a day by oral gavage, or in some instances, twice per day. On day 18, mice are administered a final dose and two hours later a plasma sample is taken. At four hours following the final dose, mice are sacrificed, an additional plasma sample is collected and mouse spleens are removed and weighed. The average spleen weight of vehicle control group mice is compared to the average spleen weight of the test compound mice. Percent spleen growth inhibition is calculated as 100×[(spleen weight vehicle control-spleen weight test compound)/spleen weight vehicle control]. In some instances, the compounds were not tested in all of the assays as indicated by NA in the table below.

The following table provides data indicating the percent spleen growth inhibition for exemplary compounds indicated (dosed once per day at 10 mg per kg unless indicated otherwise) in the splenomegaly mouse model:

As an indication of relative solubility, the turbidity of compounds in aqueous solutions is assessed. To assess possible compound properties in different physiological compartments, such as stomach, intestine, and blood, a series of aqueous buffers with varying pH is used. Thus each compound is diluted into four different physiologically relevant buffers and solution turbidity is measured by spectrophotometry. The concentration of compound that demonstrates turbidity by forming enough insoluble suspension to raise the average optical density above 0.01 at three wavelengths (490, 535, and 650 nm) is used to define the limit of the compound solubility in that buffer.

Compounds are dissolved at a concentration of 25 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide, then serially diluted 1:1 into a 96 well plate, diluting 10 times in pure dimethyl sulfoxide, with the final well of each row a dimethyl sulfoxide blank. In an assay plate, 99 μL of appropriate buffer is added to each well, and 1 μL of each sample dilution is added to the buffer, achieving a range of final total concentrations in aqueous solutions having different pH. The buffers used are Simulated Gastric Fluid (SGF-pH 1.5) 0.5M NaCl, pH 1.5; Simulated Intestinal fluid (SIF-pH 4.5 and pH 6.8) 0.05M NaH₂PO₄, pH 4.5 and 6.8; and Hepes Buffer (HEPES-pH 7.4) 10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4. Control compounds pyrene, estriol and propranolol HCl are also assessed. Plates are spun and then mixed for 1 minute, and the absorbance is read using a Tecan Safire II to read wavelengths in the visible range (490, 535, and 650 nm) at four locations per well, reflecting the degree of turbidity present. The average optical density for each wavelength in each well is graphed vs. compound concentration, and the concentration at which the curve crosses a threshold O.D. of 0.01 for each wavelength is reported as the endpoint turbidity assay result. The average of the three wavelengths is used to compare turbidity of compounds. Compounds are considered to have low solubility if the threshold concentration is <31.3 μM, moderate solubility if the threshold concentration is 31.3 μM to 250 μM, and high solubility if the threshold concentration is >250 μm.

CYP (Cytochrome P450) enzymes are the major drug metabolizing enzymes present in the liver. The inhibition of CYP enzyme activity (IC₅₀) for each of CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A4(BFC) and CYP3A4(BQ) is determined for compounds, where inhibition of metabolism of a known substrate leads to a decrease in the fluorescence of the metabolized product. The fluorescence of the product is monitored as a function of compound concentration.

Compounds are dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 100 mM. These are diluted 1 μL into 82 μL of acetonitrile. An 11 μL aliquot of this solution is then added to 204 μL of cofactor mix (1.3% NADPH Regeneration system Solution A, 1.04% NADPH Regeneration system Solution B from BD Biosciences, 5% acetonitrile and 0.05% DMSO). These are then serially diluted 1:1 (160 μL to 160 μL co-factor mix) for a total of 10 points. A 10 μL aliquot of this final mixture is dispensed into 384 well assay plates and incubated for 10 minutes at 37° C. Enzyme and substrate mix (10 μL; 0.5 μmol CYP1A2/5 μM CEC; 1.0 μmol CYP2C9/75 μM MFC; 0.5 μmol CYP2C19/25 μM CEC; 1.5 μmol CYP2D6/1.5 μM AMMC; 1.0 μmol CYP3A4/50 μM BFC; or 1.0 μmol CYP3A4/40 μM BQ) is added to these assay plates. Assay plates are incubated at 37° C. (CYP1A2-15 min; CYP2C₉₋₄₅ min; CYP2C19, 2D6 and 3A4-30 min) and read in a Tecan Safire 2 plate reader (CYP1A2, 2C19 and 3A4 409 ex/460 em; CYP2C9 and 2D6 409 ex/530 em). The signal versus compound concentration is used to determine the IC₅₀. The enzymes and substrates for this assay are obtained from BD Biosciences. While other factors are involved in determining CYP effects in vivo, compounds preferably have IC₅₀ values of >5 μM, more preferably IC₅₀ values of >10 μM.

Pharmacokinetic properties of compounds (including any solid forms or formulations thereof) are assessed in male Sprague Dawley rats or male Beagle dogs. Rats are dosed daily with compound either by IV injections via surgically implanted jugular catheters or by oral gavage (PO). Each compound is prepared as a 20 mg/mL stock solution in dimethyl sulfoxide, which is further diluted to provide the dosing stock at the desired concentration for the IV or PO formulations. For IV dosing, the dosing stock is diluted into a 1:1:8 mixture of Solutol®:ethanol:water. For PO dosing, the dosing stock is diluted into 1% methylcellulose. In a cassette format (or each compound, solid form thereof or formulation thereof is done individually), compounds are diluted to 0.5 mg/mL each for IV dosing and 0.4 mg/mL each for PO dosing and dosed at 1 mg/kg (2 mL/kg) or 2 mg/kg (5 mL/kg), respectively. For IV dosed animals, tail vein blood samples are collected with lithium heparin anticoagulant at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes and 4, 8, and 24 hours post dosing each day. For PO dosed animals, tail vein blood samples are collected with lithium heparin anticoagulant at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours post dosing each day. Dogs are dosed daily by oral capsules in a suitable formulation at 50 mg/mL. Cephalic vein blood samples are collected with lithium heparin anticoagulant at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours post dosing each day. All samples are processed to plasma and frozen for later analysis of each compound by LC/MS/MS. Plasma levels as a function of time are plotted to assess the AUC (ng*hr/mL). Compounds according to the present invention preferably show improved pharmacokinetic properties relative to previously described compounds, i.e. they have substantially higher values for one or more of AUC, C_(max) and half-life relative to previously described compounds.

Analysis of penetration of compound into the brain can be assessed similarly. Each compound is prepared as a 100 mg/mL stock solution in dimethyl sulfoxide, as well as control compounds atenolol at 100 mg/mL and antipyrine at 50 mg/mL. In a cassette format, up to three test compounds, along with atenolol and antipyrine, are combined, 180 μL each, and added to 17.1 mL of 1% methylcellulose. The compounds are in a suspension that is administered in a single dose (10 mL per kg body weight) to 2 groups of CD rats (8-9 weeks, n=3 per group) by oral gavage, an additional group of rats dosed with vehicle only. One group of compound treated rats is sacrificed at 2 hours post dosing, the other group at 6 hours. Plasma is collected in Li-heparin and the brains are collected, cut into right and left hemispheres, weighed and flash frozen. Brain homogenate (30%) and plasma samples are assessed by equilibrium dialysis using a 96 well equilibrium dialysis apparatus with a 5K MW cut off membrane (The Nest Group, Inc.) as per the vendor's protocol with the samples on one side of the dialysis membrane and an equal volume of 1×PBS on the other side. The apparatus is incubated overnight at 37° C. on a plate rotator (The Nest Group, Inc.). The compound concentrations on both sides are analyzed by LC/MS/MS to calculate the mass balance recovery. The concentration in the PBS side is calculated using a standard curve generated for each compound. The PBS concentration is the free compound concentration, while the side with the biological sample provides the concentration in plasma or brain.
